Worst part about GC
The emails circling around from extended family about how wonderful conference was, examples of how righteous they are, followed by a fake example of how conference helped them see a point they need to repent on, which is so miniscule of an ommission that the admission of a tiny guilt actually turns into another demonstration of exceeding righteousness.

So am I to take from this that there is yet another reason why I should be glad I don't come from one of those big co-dependent Mormon families so prevalent in Utah?

For as critical I am at some Mormon culture items, I am greatly proud and appreciative of my heritage and the culture and all that it includes. It's a part of me and I'm a part of it and I love it. BYU, Utah (the state not the school), Provo, Utah County, green jello, minivans, cheapness, cheesiness, etc.

I love raising my kids with 15 or so cousins. I think that is a unique and secure way of growing up. But I married into a great clan.

This is the primary and probably only reason we sometimes wish we lived in Utah. We send our kids up there every summer for a few weeks to hang out with the cousins and they love it. The sense of community that one frequently finds within the bonds of an extended family is a huge benefit for raising kids, I believe.
